At this time, there were not many people in the coffee shop, so Ma Jianping picked a seat by the window and sat down on the street. In this way, he will be able to see Xu Xiaolan and Teacher Qi.

As soon as Ma Jianping sat down, a waitress walked over: "Sir, what do you need?" ”

"Give me three cups of coffee and three snacks."

"We have a lot of dim sum here, which one do you want?"

"Huh?" Ma Jianping was a little surprised, he was a typical straight man with cancer, he didn't usually come to this kind of place, and he couldn't say the name of dim sum.

"This is the price list, please take a look." The waitress placed the menu on the table in front of Ma Jianping.

"I don't have to look at it, I'll just have three of the best dim sum." Ma Jianping didn't want to do multiple-choice questions.

"Okay."

"Sir, will coffee and snacks be served now?"

"The person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, and I'll come back when the people come, okay?"

"Okay, sir, please have a glass of water first." The waiter waved at Batai.

A waiter brought over a glass of water: "Sir, please use it slowly." ”

The two waiters threw a smile to Ma Jianping and greeted a pair of young men and women who had just walked in.

While drinking water, Ma Jianping looked nervously at the pedestrians on the street, and he was looking for Xu Xiaolan's figure.

The sky had been gloomy from yesterday afternoon to now, and outside the window, the wind was blowing the leaves of the plane trees, and some of the leaves began to fall with the wind.

The weather is getting cooler, and the people on the road are in a hurry.

In order to live up to the hopes of Team Zhao and his sister-in-law, Ma Jianping made a special effort today and sat here in advance.

His professional nature reminded him that he should arrive early, and he arrived at the appointment twenty minutes early.

He deliberately chose a navy blue casual suit. It was bought to him by his sister this spring, and he loved the color.

Before going out, he struggled for a moment over a tie with diagonal stripes on a blue background.

He put it on and took it off, tossed back and forth several times, always feeling that something was wrong, and finally made up his mind to wear it and go out.

But when I left the dormitory, I still pulled the tie off.

He thought that today's occasion should be more formal, but at the same time he felt that wearing this tie seemed too formal, and that it would be very uncomfortable.

If he is uncomfortable, he will be uncomfortable, and if he is uncomfortable, he will lose his temper.

Ma Jianping has always been confident, full of confidence in his professional skills and work ability, and also confident in his handsome appearance.

During the waiting time he sat here, his eyes were extremely busy, and his mind was not idle.

He knew what he was here for, and he remembered the failed romance in the past.

If it weren't for the opposition of the girl's parents, she and she might have entered the palace of marriage.

I also blame myself for being clumsy, I can't talk sweetly, how can I not play my skills in love, it's really useless.

While Ma Jianping blamed himself and remorseed, he suddenly became uneasy in the face of what was coming.

On the way to the café, he did a psychological construction for himself:

If the other girl can accept the profession he is engaged in, if he also likes the other party, then he must work hard to overcome his own problems and treat others well.

He believes in his sister-in-law's eyesight, and he believes in Team Zhao even more.

Team Zhao has always been an idol of Ma Jianping.

At the beginning, Team Zhao worked in a small county town in Hefeng, with an ordinary background, his sister-in-law worked in the big city of Beijing, and his parents were retired cadres of the army, and his family conditions were superior, but his sister-in-law chose to be with Team Zhao without hesitation.

Ma Jianping and his sister-in-law don't have much contact, but his sister-in-law's impression on him is excellent.

He fought side by side with Team Zhao, he knew best that Team Zhao spent most of his time on work, and sometimes, Team Zhao was away from home for several days, but his sister-in-law never called the office of the criminal investigation team.

It can be seen that the sister-in-law, as a family member, is very supportive of Team Zhao's work.

Ma Jianping hopes that in the future, it would be great if she could be like her sister-in-law.

Of course, he also secretly determined that as long as it was a woman who could spend his life with him, he would definitely take good care of it - to the best of his ability.

His courage and strength stem from his love for criminal investigation work, but if there is understanding and support from his other half, then his strength will be endless.

At this time, some people walked into the coffee shop one after another, all young men and girls.

They hugged each other and walked into the coffee shop, and while drinking coffee and eating snacks, they whispered and laughed.

In the middle of the café there is a raised platform on which a black piano is placed.

Next to the piano sat a handsome young man in a tuxedo, who was playing "Yeste."

As the popularity of the coffee shop continued to gather, the young man's mood gradually became more and more excited, and his body and head shook more and more.

Outside the window, on the street, the flow of bicycles is becoming more and more ferocious, and it seems that the rush hour for getting off work has arrived, and the twilight is getting thicker. Street lamps along the street and advertising light boxes in shops have been turned on one after another.

Ma Jianping suddenly found his sister-in-law Xu Xiaolan in the crowd.

There is also a girl parallel to Xu Xiaolan, who is a little taller than her sister-in-law, with a neat ponytail, wearing a white shirt on her upper body, plus a purple taro cardigan sweater, a peacock blue ankle-length skirt on her lower body, a pair of beige flat-soled high-top lace-up leather shoes on her feet, and a small beige satchel in the bicycle basket.

I guess this girl is Teacher Qi.

Two people are pushing bicycles and are walking in style.

Ma Jianping suddenly became nervous, and his palms were sweating.

He took two sips of water and wondered whether he should go out to greet him.

Just as he hesitated, the two of them had already walked into the coffee shop.

He hurriedly stood up and beckoned to them.

Xu Xiaolan saw Ma Jianping and led the girl over.

"Jianping, you're here early." Xu Xiaolan said with a smile. She was very satisfied with Ma Jianping's early arrival.

Seeing Ma Jianping's dress, Xu Xiaolan's hanging heart fell to the ground, this kid is okay.

She and Ma Jianping have met a few times before, this young man has always been casual and casual, and she was suspenseful all the way when she came.

It seems that Ma Jianping still attaches great importance to the date arranged by Zhao Zimeng and her.

"Hello sister-in-law." Ma Jianping Road.

"Teacher Qi, this is Ma Jianping. Jianping, this is Teacher Qi. Xu Xiaolan introduced.

"Hello." Ma Jianping smiled and nodded politely at Teacher Qi.

"Hello." Teacher Qi smiled.

"You may be seated."

Several people sat down, Xu Xiaolan sat next to Teacher Qi, and Ma Jianping sat opposite them.

Ma Jianping waved to the waiter in the distance, and a waitress came over with a plate in understanding.

The waiter put three plates of delicate snacks on the table, and placed three cups of steaming coffee in front of the three of them.

In the middle of the table is a box of coffee mates and a box of sugar.

"Teacher Qi, put some sugar so that the coffee won't be too bitter." Ma Jianping dug a spoonful of sugar with a small spoon and put it in Teacher Qi's cup.

"Thank you." Teacher Qi nodded.

"Sister-in-law, you can also have some sugar."

"No, I like black coffee." Xu Xiaolan doesn't like sweets.

"Xiao Qi, Jianping is a very good young man in the criminal investigation team, he usually works seriously and responsibly, has strong professional ability, is down-to-earth, and has a good personality."

Listening to Xu Xiaolan praise herself, Ma Jianping was a little embarrassed.

"By the way, he has a very high level of painting, I heard Zimeng say that the pony is responsible for simulating portraits, and the portrait he painted is very similar to himself!"

"You know how to draw?" Teacher Xiao Qi asked.

"Well, I'm actually not as good as my sister-in-law said, I just like to draw since I was a child, and I wanted to apply for the Academy of Fine Arts in the college entrance examination, but then I went to the Criminal Investigation College by mistake. Thankfully, my main job now is related to painting, and I'm very happy. Ma Jianping said sincerely.

"I envy people who can draw, I wanted to paint when I was a kid, but I don't have that talent. I really envy you for being able to treat your hobby as a career. Teacher Xiao Qi said with a smile.

Xu Xiaolan saw that she hadn't introduced herself in detail, so the two of them chatted, and there was a burst of joy in her heart, she felt that there was a door to this matter.

"Actually, you are very good teachers, and I think teaching is a good profession, which is admirable."

When Ma Jianping saw Teacher Qi for the first time at the window, he had a good impression, and he felt that he liked this delicate girl a little.

In fact, what he didn't expect was that Teacher Xiao Qi had the same feeling as him.

"Our teacher Xiaoqi is an advanced worker in the school, she teaches physics, she is smart, gentle personality, and her classmates and teachers like her." Xu Xiaolan followed up in a timely manner.

"Sister Lan, you have won the prize." Teacher Xiao Qi's face flushed slightly.

"Don't be humble, Xiao Qi, drink coffee, don't be cold. You're going to be a little hungry, right? Xu Xiaolan squeezed her eyes at Ma Jianping.

"Teacher Qi, eat a snack, eat a snack." Ma Jianping instantly understood his sister-in-law's intentions, and hurriedly pushed the three plates of dim sum in front of Teacher Qi.

"You eat too." Teacher Xiao Qi nodded and took a sip of coffee and picked up a piece of Black Forest cake.

Xu Xiaolan glanced at Ma Jianping and motioned for him to take the initiative and talk more.

"Teacher Qi, I speak more directly, yes, the work of our criminal police is relatively special, I don't have a commute to work, and I often don't go home. These sisters-in-law are aware. Ma Jianping got straight to the point.

"I've told Xiao Qi about this, she knows."

"Sister Lan is right, although I don't do your job, I still know a little bit, and I know that the work of the criminal police is very hard. I admire you very much. ”

"Since I was a child, I have admired the police and soldiers, admired their perseverance and courage, they are all heroes." Teacher Xiao Qi is a smart person, and she understands what Ma Jianping means.

"Actually, I heard Sister Lan say that you are a criminal policeman, so I wanted to come and meet you. I came from an ordinary family, and I have suffered a lot since I was a child, and I am not a pampered person. She continued.
